Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 758:

“They’re saying Ms. Harper’s man. So, are you her man?”

Cedric nodded without hesitation.

“Of course. I’m her only man.”

Ryan nodded in agreement.

“That’s true.”

Natalie stood there, watching as Cedric walked away. When Ryan confirmed Cedric’s words, Cedric let out a chuckle. He was completely uninterested in anything that didn’t involve Daniela. Natalie clenched her fists, her eyes reddening as a wave of frustration washed over her.

She could have let it go like she always did in the past. However, she bit her lip and rushed after him today.

“Cedric, just give me five minutes. Let me explain.”

Cedric stopped and turned to Natalie, his gaze cold.

“Explain? To me? About what?”

His three questions showed his confusion, but his expression remained equally indifferent.

“The chat… People are just making things up. I’m not like that.” Cedric finally comprehended.

“Oh, you are the person they’re talking about in the group chat.”

Natalie nodded, her eyes teary.

“But it’s all a misunderstanding.”

Before she could say more, Ryan pulled up the photos Nina had posted earlier in the chat.

“How is this a misunderstanding? I heard you two held that pose for half an hour.”

Natalie’s eyes welled with tears as she stared at the photo, showing Linden’s hand creeping up her shirt, settling on her chest. Tears rolled down Natalie’s face.

Cedric pushed the office door open and stepped inside, Ryan trailing after him.

Natalie stood frozen, the humiliation settling deep in her bones. She turned on her heels and went straight to find Nina.

The sharp crack echoed as a hot slap landed across Nina’s face. Nina laughed loudly, her laughter so intense that it made her whole body tremble.

Elyse’s expression darkened, her voice shaking with fury.

“Nina! Do you even still call yourself part of the Dury family? Your own sister was humiliated, and you stood there snapping photos? Have you completely lost your humanity? You heartless fool!”

Elyse’s voice trembled with rage as she spoke, her anger unmistakably genuine.

Nina looked at Natalie’s tear-streaked face and Elyse’s furious outburst, suddenly realizing a harsh truth. Unless the pain was felt firsthand, it was nearly impossible to understand.

“Mom, when you sent me to sleep with Linden on Natalie’s behalf, did you ever show me any concern?”

Elyse’s slap obliterated Nina’s final shred of hope. Nina tasted the blood on her lip and curled her lip into a sneer.

“Now Natalie can comprehend what the pain I’ve endured feels like.”

Elyse couldn’t shake the feeling that Nina had completely lost her mind. She burst into Daniela’s office, her voice sharp.

“Daniela, if you still consider me your aunt, you’ll fire Nina from Elite Lux. If not, I’ll take Natalie with me.

You can only choose one.”
